Pushpendra Kumar Panchal

Dr. Pushpendra Kumar Panchal is an internationally published, well accomplished research scientist whose interests and expertise span a wide array of disciplines. A student of science since 1993, he received his Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees from the University of Agra in India, in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics and Applied Physics and Electronics, respectively. In 2005, Dr. Panchal earned a Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Delhi in India. To supplement these achievements, Pushpendra Kumar Panchal has pursued a number of additional degrees and certificates, including a Master’s in Computer Applications from the Indira Gandhi National Open University of Delhi in India.

Through these educational endeavors, his subsequent work in his field, and the accompanying published writings and speaking engagements, Dr. Panchal has established himself at the forefront of the international scientific community, particularly in respect to crystallography and superconductivity. As a research scientist, Pushpendra Kumar Panchal experiments with a variety of scientific techniques to further his own and his colleagues’ understanding of relevant fields.

Dr. Panchal is well-versed with methods ranging from chemical and laser-induced crystal growth to thermal gravimetric analysis of solid states. He has also designed and fabricated devices to enable his exploration of these methods, including a cryostat, and a tubular furnace devised to reach temperatures up to 1200° C. The breadth of Dr. Panchal’s abilities facilitate his multidisciplinary investigations, which include the aforementioned crystallography and superconductivity, as well as analytical and inorganic chemistry, ceramic materials, and polymer science.

In 2007, Dr. Panchal began his current work as Research Scientist with Natural State Research Inc. in Stamford, Connecticut. Here, he specializes in plastics technology, and recycling as well as plastics utilized in municipal waste treatment and their characterizations. In this collaborative scientific environment, Dr. Panchal shares his findings with fellow scientists and engineers, documents procedures and techniques, and works to develop new methods and instruments of exploration. In his spare time, Pushpendra Kumar Panchal explores computer systems, software, and programming; he also reads books by Colin E. C. Wood and William D. Callister, Jr.
